How to Make Cheesecake Cookie Dough Tacos Step-by-Step

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets.
Step 2: Cream 1 ½ cups butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light. Beat in 2 eggs, then 2 tsp vanilla.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk 3 ½ cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt.
Step 4: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture on low speed until just combined (do not overmix). Chill dough for 30 minutes.
Step 5: Roll dough to ⅛-inch thick and cut into 3-inch rounds. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
Step 6: Immediately drape warm cookies over wooden spoon handles or rolling pins to shape into taco shells. Let cool completely on forms. Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 7: Ensure 16 oz cream cheese is at room temperature. Beat cream cheese and ¾ cup granulated sugar until smooth, light, and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
Step 8: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla. In a separate chilled bowl, whip ½ cup cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Step 9: Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until airy and homogenous. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Step 10: Heat-treat 1 ½ cups flour: Spread flour on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 1 min 15 secs (stirring after 45 secs) until 160°F (71°C), or bake at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes. Cool completely.
Step 11: Cream ½ cup butter, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 12: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp milk. Add the cooled, heat-treated flour and ½ tsp salt; mix on low speed until just combined.
Step 13: Gently fold in 1 cup mini chocolate chips. Set aside or refrigerate if not assembling immediately.
Step 14: Transfer the chilled cheesecake filling and the ready cookie dough filling into separate piping bags.
Step 15: Pipe a generous layer of cookie dough filling along the bottom interior of each cooled cookie taco shell.
Step 16: Then, pipe the creamy cheesecake filling directly on top of the cookie dough layer. Continue this process for all taco shells.
Step 17: Carefully transfer the assembled tacos to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes (up to 1 hour) to allow the fillings to firm up.
Step 18: Just before serving, drizzle each taco generously with chocolate sauce or ganache, and sprinkle with rainbow/chocolate sprinkles or extra mini chocolate chips.
Step 19: An optional dollop of whipped cream can be added. Serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
